sideexitsupra Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 My first ride in a Supra was with SteveL in his race car at Oulton! Now that made an impression and less than 12 months later I owned a Supra! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Had a ride in Si's (bignum) single. I held on for my life. Crazily fast compared to 350bhp (was about 550bhp)!! I'd love one but I think BPU will be enough... for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TubbyTwo Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Its fatal going in somthing more powerfull than you currently own. Thats how i ended up wasting loads on MR2s.... I was more than happy with my little 174hp NA, then I drove a turbo, sold mine bought a turbo, few months down the line drove a 400hp MR2 and off on the hunt we went again.....

You should have tried a V6 Turbo MR2! I can't wait to get the Supra back now - then get it mapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TubbyTwo Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 dont get me started again lol Seriously had to restrain myself from getting a 400+hp black MR2 turbo off IMOC the other week.... gotta keep the eye on the prize lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkddav3 Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 singles are amazing! had a go in a mates n/a, was fast but i wanted more, then tried a tt, wanted more! so i bought a single....result! for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Its addictive, you buy a TT and its fast till you get used to it. Then BPU, its that same with the single. Ifs fast untill you get used to it and then you want more. Ive not driven my car for 9 months and ive just got it back on the road, trip to work this morning on the new turbo setup and OMG. only up to 0.3 bar but it feels positive, spools so much quicker than the T67. Got the power feeling again, role on next thursday so I can feel 1.7 bar again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagman Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 They are a different breed totally. Same breed , just the NA is a weedy relative - steroids needed or everyone kicks sand in your face - lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseys Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I must have a very addictive personality then - I jumped from NA to single (not a learning curve I'd recommend). And now it doesn't scare me again, so it's either tidy it all up and change the gearbox and go larger... or I have no idea really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 It never stops for people like me, you suddenly think fast road cars are a waste of money and a serious risk to your licence and safety, so you start with race cars, then faster race cars until you get too old to get in and out of one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
